The above is Cometlake-H, and it pretty much depends on the machine
configuration.

FWIW, openSUSE Leap 15.3 kernel is based on 5.3 but got tons of
backports, hence its HD-audio part is almost equivalent with 5.13 or
later kernel (except for the recently changed mute-LED handling --
which must be irrelevant with your problem).

The above indicates that the codec is detected and set up.  The rest
part is often some vendor-specific quirks.  For that, details are
missing completely.  At best please give alsa-info.sh output (run the
script with --no-upload and attach the output).

If it's the result from the more-or-less similar configuration like
the previous Leap kernel (regarding the audio), this must come from
another part than the sound driver, likely either PCI or arch/x86.
You might need to bisect for that...
